It's been down into the 30's here, and I haven't turned the heat on yet. Not going to until I see my breath.

You might want to rethink that...your pipes could still freeze.

At this point, Corin, I'm praying for a peaceful death for your fil, and for peace for your family and for your wife's family. God Bless you all. We'll be here when you can get back!

And this one of Merry and Pippin...the back says that Treebeard doesn't know what to do with them, so he takes them to a nearby wizard...

Did it happen that way in The Two Towers? It was about a year ago when I last read it. I thought M&P went with Treebeard & Co after Entmoot to go kick some Orthanc booty...and hooked up with Aragorn & Co afterwards. (?)

Corin, did you get as far as the cave troll scene in Moria?

No, we were both asleep at that point. I woke up and we turned it off when Gimli ran into Balin's tomb. If we can, we'll try the second disk tonite.

It's gotta be much colder than 30 degrees for pipes to freeze.

Thanks for your prayers. We too are praying for a peaceful passing. We're at that awkward point between not wanting to lose him and wondering why he's lingering.

A blast from the past:

Boromir in the book was a bit scary, because we saw mostly through Frodo's eyes, and Frodo was scared of him. The camera, being less discriminating, gave us a more balanced view of the noble Gondorian. - JenB

But Boromir's the kind of guy I wouldn't mind have protecting me. I'd feel safe. - JenB

Now I don't want to hear anymore of that "Men are weak" stuff. ;^)

Outdoor temps need to be below freezing for multiple days before pipes will freeze.

You can sometimes prevent pipes from freezing by leaving a small stream of water running (but we're still in drought restrictions so I can't say that outloud).

Well, Treebeard taking them to see "a wizard" certainly never happened in the book. If this is what really happens (and the trading cards are usually pretty accurate), then it's a departure from the book. I feel pretty safe though that it will be ok, just like everything I've seen so far. Doesn't worry me a bit.

The hobbits run into Gandalf while the Ents are tearing up Orthanc and later meet up with their friends after the battle at Helm's Deep.

I got it! I got my very own copy of the extended release! What gorgeous packaging! The tee-shirt is black with black/gold lettering and I think Steve will like it.

G'nad.... I feel I must help you out here before you stick your foot in it worse.

NewCenturions is a she... perhaps even a she-elf... and you have now insulted her when she asked you to hold her hand...

Where are your manners dwarf?

Apparently, no where to be found... I was under the errant impression that NewCenturions was a fella... I have already apologized via FReepmail...

I would never refuse to take the hand of a fair lass in need of assistance or comfort... even if she is an elf...

I'll go sit in the corner now...

That is what I thought! I knew you to be more of a gentleman than that, even if you do post pictures of vomit from time to time!

That's OK... I gotta ease into this all gentle-like. :-)

After suffering with dialup for all these years... It's nice.
